Fouling mitigation in produced water treatment by conjugation of advanced oxidation process and microfiltration.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
March 2021
This work explored the use of ozonation and photoperoxidation before the microfiltration process to reduce fouling. Produced water was synthesized with salt, viscosifier, and surfactant. The additives influence on membrane fouling was evaluated.

- This study re-evaluated previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) related to ANCA-associated vasculitis using statistical methods like false-positive report probability (FPRP) and Bayesian false discovery probability (BFDP).
- The researchers identified a total of 241 articles, narrowing it down to 7 for in-depth analysis, revealing that most significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from GWASs were noteworthy, especially those with borderline p-values.
- The gene ontology analysis highlighted immune-related terms and pathways, particularly emphasizing the interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) signaling pathway as a potential key mechanism in the complex causes of ANCA-associated vasculitis.
Perform a systematic review to identify the categories of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health linked to the concepts measured by functional assessment tools validated for Brazilian Portuguese: Timed Up and Go test, Functional Independence Measure, Barthel Index, and Rivermead Mobility Index and Modified Rankin Scale. The Medline, Embase and CINAHL databases were consulted using a standardized search strategy. The studies were summarized using a pre-established set of specific criteria for the adequate linkage between the concepts identified in the assessment measures and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health categories.

The objective of this study was to investigate periodontitis induced alterations in liver function and structure using an experimental model.
Methods: Twenty female rats (Rattus norvegicus) were allocated into two groups: control and periodontitis.
Background: Damage caused by periodontitis not only affects periodontal tissues, but also increases the severity of various illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and liver diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between induced periodontitis and damage caused through its systemic effects on the liver.
Methods: Twenty rats were divided into two groups: control and periodontitis.
